Continuing its philanthropic partnership with Save the Children, Ferrari will auction one of the earliest of the new Ferrari Roma to be delivered to North America with added star-power from Maroon 5’s Adam Levine and his wife, supermodel, and philanthropist Behati Prinsloo.
Levine and Prinsloo joined Matteo Torre, President of Ferrari North America, for a virtual event to kick-off the collaboration which will culminate with the announcement this fall of the auction winner of the Ferrari Roma at Save the Children’s virtual gala.
In 2017, a LaFerrari Aperta was auctioned to benefit Save the Children at the company’s 70th anniversary “Leggenda e Passione” event. That sale raised US$10 million for the charitable organization, which used it to advance international education programs.
Adam Levine said:
Behati and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of this unique project and ultimately help a charity that we are fully supportive of.
As so many other parents worldwide, during this time we have been focused first and foremost on taking care of our girls, and Save the Children is helping countless children and families with crucial education resources.
Behati Prinsloo said:
Kids are so vulnerable with everything going on in the world today, and the incredible work of Save the Children to shield them is vital more now than ever.
With significant uncertainty around child care and school re-openings nationwide, wide-scale learning loss could be among the biggest impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on children across the United States. Save the Children is working across America to support education programs by offering free learning resources and support for parents and caregivers. To date, Save the Children has served more than 178,000 children and their families in 200 rural communities.
